Obvious one, ptu. They've had a few ff's in for work and advised me to avoid. Everyone's entitled to their opinion I suppose.

£8k at SS Autotech/Parkes sorts you out with a permanent solution. Just factor that into your budgeting decision and you’re golden.

As above, there is now an £8K permanent solution for that, that's £8K fully installed.

Permanent sounds good. The Ferrari fix isn't permanent is my understanding so would re-occur.

I was at a Ferrari breakfast morning at Colchester moments ago. This has just landed with them, not even advertised as yet. Blu America (I think it's called) with beige interior. It was a very overcast morning which made showing the paint in its true colour quite difficult. Spoke to the salesman and he said will probably go up for around £120,000. It was mentioned here a few posts ago that someone was looking for this spec? If so, act fast as it wil sell fast.





And for colour reference (plus a chance to post a pic of my own FF!) Here is black and tdf blue in the same conditions:

I was there too with my FF. A great meet with lots of lovely cars.

Speak to Stuart he sorted me out with a great car, enjoying the whole Ferrari package. Mine came with 2.5 years warranty too

8k plus VAT so 9.6k

Next one due up on Collecting Cars. If monochrome spec is your thing this will be just up your street.

I adore the diamond stitched seats. It's the one thing I wish my car had. Completely useless as you're sitting on them and not even looking at it, but I adore it still.

Thanks for pointing out the latest Collecting Cars FF.

It's interesting that the ptu was replaced in 2019, with someone outside of the official ferrari network supplying a ptu for Joe Macari to install. Would this mean that a Ferrari warranty could not be applied to this car?

There is a "Electrical System Failure" warning on the dash after the start up in the video. I would have made sure that this issue was repaired before making a marketing video!

What do we imagine this is example will sell for?

Is this the Ex Chris Harris car that didn't sell recently on CC?

Joe Macari are an official Ferrari service agent tbok -- from their website ''In 2007 an Official Ferrari and Maserati franchise was granted to Joe Macari Servicing for a new purpose built service centre.'' - so surely the PTU was supplied to JM by FNE.

Seems a missed opportunity to install a specialist PTU with uprated forks. All that time and money and now it's just got another "standard" PTU with its inherent fault

I am having naughty thoughts about one of these. I have the perfect spec 812GTS but being a 2 seater it doesn’t get used as much as I would like and I love the idea of piling the kids in the back for special days out.

No rear tints would be an absolute must for me. Presumably CarPlay can be retro-fitted?

Isn't the Jimny special enough for the kids? ;-) rofl

Unfortunately the Jimny has rotten through so much that it can’t pass an MOT any more, I’ve just been told

Quick question about the need for suspension lift?

I have a 2006 DB9 Volante which is about the lowest that my driveway can cope with. Have any of you had the experience of both a DB9 and a FF in terms of front lip clearance?

Many thanks

This is lovely, I think was mentioed earlier in this thread before it was listed.
